<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<filename>/var/log/faillog</filename> maintains a count of login
failures and the limits for each account.
</para>
<para>
The file contains fixed length
records, indexed by numerical UID. Each record contains the count of
login failures since the last successful login; the maximum number of
failures before the account is disabled; the line on which the last login
failure occurred; the date of the last login failure;
and the duration (in seconds) during which the account will be locked after
a failure.
</para>
<para>The structure of the file is:</para>
<programlisting>
struct faillog {
short fail_cnt;
short fail_max;
char fail_line[12];
time_t fail_time;
long fail_locktime;
};</programlisting>
